Dickens gets the quantum superposition treatment
Original: It's not an oxymoron, it's a superposition! # dickens # quantum # humor # humour # schrodinger
A joke playing on Charles Dickens and quantum physics is circulating online, riffing on the idea of being in two states at once. The quip says the apparent contradiction is not an oxymoron but a superposition, a nod to Schrödinger's famous thought experiment, and readers are sharing it under humor tags.
Why now: It is a light physics-meets-literature joke that people find funny enough to pass around.
